Abstract

Selon l'invention, un mode d'entrée tactile peut être activé et désactivé automatiquement et/ou manuellement. Lorsque le mode d'entrée tactile est activé, des éléments d'interface utilisateur sont optimisés pour une entrée tactile. Lorsque le mode d'entrée tactile est désactivé, les éléments d'interface utilisateur sont optimisés pour une entrée par des éléments matériels. Un utilisateur peut activer le mode d'entrée tactile en sélectionnant manuellement un élément d'interface utilisateur et/ou en effectuant une entrée tactile. Des paramètres peuvent être configurés pour spécifier les conditions d'activation/désactivation du mode d'entrée tactile. Par exemple, le mode d'entrée tactile peut être configuré pour être automatiquement activé lors de la déconnexion d'un dispositif informatique, ou en cas de réception d'une entrée tactile alors que le mode d'entrée par des éléments matériels est activé, et analogues. De la même manière, le mode d'entrée tactile peut être configuré pour être automatiquement désactivé lors de la connexion d'un dispositif informatique, ou en cas de réception d'une entrée par des éléments matériels alors que le mode d'entrée tactile est activé, et analogues.
